My Story

Hi, thank you for visiting my personal fundraising page. I will be attempting to run my personal best on a treadmill on 22 April to raise funds for UNICEF Malaysia. I believe many will wonder why attempt something as crazy as this. Looking back I consider myself very lucky - I have been blessed with a good life, a great family and the best of friends. Four years ago I had a life changing moment. My wife passed away. I was forced to reevaluate my life. I came to realize that invariably I have always chosen the easy route when faced with life's challenges. It is time for me to stand up and be counted. My late wife, a music teacher, had a soft spot for children - it was her wish to help children had she recovered. Education played an important part in my family. I come from a family of teachers. Providing children with access to quality education is one of UNICEF's priorities. More info on UNICEF's education programs in Malaysia and globally can be found here: http://www.unicef.org/malaysia/gift_backtoschool-unicef_in_education.html Children have innate way of making the best of a bad situation. I count many times, my nephews and nieces have brought a smile to my face by just doing or saying something. I guess this is also my way of saying thanks. I am uncertain if this will make a difference though I am hopeful it will. Please join me in showing your support to UNICEF - let's make a difference for children. The details of this run is as follows: Date: 22 April 2013 (Monday) Venue: Celebrity Fitness, Subang Parade. Through simplygiving.com you can make safe and secure donations for this good cause towards supporting UNICEF. Using this given platform is really simple and most importantly it's also a really cost efficient way for UNICEF to raise funds.
